As soon as he thought of the glutton Xu Muqing in the yard, Xia Zheng couldn't linger on the advantages he had just gained from Lin Yuan and quickly followed her downstairs.
Lin Yuan had only been gone a short while, but the backyard had already split into two large camps: one consisted of Yan Ruchun and Xu Muqing, which made up the Women's Brigade, and the other was formed by the brothers Wei Boyu and Wei Borong, the Men's Alliance.
The two teams faced each other with hostility, glowering at each other, and the air was tinged with the pungent smell of gunpowder. All the little maids and young lads wisely hid in the corners, peeking their heads out to watch what was unfolding here.
Smelling the scent of battle in the backyard, Xia Zheng, who had just come downstairs, thought he was back on the border fighting against Xiliang.
He bared his teeth in discontent and looked at the high table that both sides were fighting over, rendered speechless.
